I am so excited to announce that I just recently got a teaching job here in Mass….
and…
it’s in FIRST GRADE!!!!
Thank God! (ha ha ha ha ha…)
I got to see my classroom for the first time yesterday and it is HA-UGE!
It is honestly about 3-4 times the size of my old Vegas classroom.
Here is a look:
What you can’t see is that I have a bathroom IN my classroom… repeat there is a bathroom IN my room – whhhaaaat?! There is also a big cubby area, tons of cabinets with a sink and a ginormous storage closet. I am in teacher heaven.
The only… slight downside to all this excitement is that school starts for me this coming Monday and I will have a classroom full of smiling little kids on Wednesday! Ahhhh… Oh, and I have my bridal shower and bachelorette party this weekend so I will not be able to come into school!
There are some crazy times in my world. This will also be the first year I get to go by “Mrs. Jones.” I will have to get used to that!
Since I will be hustling and bustling to get my room and plans ready for the upcoming week, I wanted to share that there is a biggggggg SALE coming soon on TPT!
My entire store will be 20% off on Sunday and Monday!
If you use the code: BTS13 Teachers Pay Teachers is throwing in another 10% off!
^^Click above to see my store!^^
Happy shopping and good luck to all the other teachers that are starting school soon!!
Congrats!
I teach in Mass too..I moved from Texas last year and it seems as if the classrooms are much larger up here. Good luck and have a great year!

YAY!! Congratulations! So glad you're still in first. Sounds like it will be a VERY busy week for you! Enjoy all the wedding fun this weekend and good luck getting your room all together at the beginning of the week. Looks like a great space…… and a bathroom!? So jealous!! Can't wait to see how it all comes together.

I just stumbled upon your blog and I am astounded by the similarities in our lives! Getting married the same day as you, having my bachelorette party this weekend and just got a job today!
Wishing you the best in all of these things–I know how crazy life is right now–on top of it all, we just bought a house too!
Very excited to follow your blog and see how everything turns out : ) GOOD LUCK!
Your classroom sounds amazing. Enjoy your weekend and good luck next week.
I cannot wait to hear your adventures at your new school.

Congrats on your job! Totally jealous about the bathroom IN the room!
Congratulations!!! How exciting! I just got a new teaching job (new district) in Mass as well and I will also be going by a new last name for the first time (Mrs. Wallace)! My new classroom is also HUGE compared to my old one in Boston. We have a lot in common 🙂
Have a wonderful bridal-focused weekend!!

Congratulations from another fellow MA teacher! =) I am jealous of your room, it looks huge, bright, and a bathroom? You scored! =) Have a great year!

That is so wonderful! Your new school seems to be a lot better than your first one. Congratulations on your new job! You did well on finding a post that you like. Given it's your third year teaching, I assume that's why it's become easier for you to find teaching posts that you want. Fresh grads would probably have it a little harder to get into the school they like. –Kevin @ Barracuda Staffing
